DURHAM: Republican former congressman Liz Cheney said on Wednesday she will vote for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, calling Donald Trump a “danger.”
“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I am voting for Kamala Harris,” Cheney said at an event at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, according to a video posted on social media platform X.
Cheney supported Trump’s second impeachment for his role in the Jan 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol by Trump supporters and she served as vice-chair of the House of Representatives committee that investigated the attack.
Cheney lost her seat in Congress after Trump backed her opponent in the 2022 Republican primary.
